A lovely little light six with a nice Ellecombe. I was surprised to see how small the ringing gallery was and how strange it is.
We rang from 9:40am - 10am for a service. Then again at 10:40am after the service until 11am. When we stopped for 10 minutes while ashes where buried in the churchyard then we continued from 11:10am - 11:45am. An Ellecombe filled day.
Then in the evening we went to St Margret's, Barking. Video to follow!
**Note: I started Plain Bob Doubles but that failed miserably so then I made something up!

Strange that there's only 6 and not 8 or a higher number that would give more variety for tunes. This makes me suspect they were originally going to be hung for full circle ringing. They're superb bells though! Who cast them?

They were cast by Mears & Stainbank in 1929. I believe they are full circle profiles so I do wonder wether that was the intention. I have noticed actually that many bells hung for chiming are not cast to chiming profiles so it must be a common thing for churches to ‘change their mind’ at the last minute!

Hi, they are hung dead on beams with clappers in the middle which are attached to the ellacombe. Bells 2,4,6 have hammers for clock chimes. That’s all I can remember really. Been a while since I last went up!
